Working in Grimsby
In Grimsby we cover DN31, DN32 and DN34; we also cover Cleethorpes, 1.8 miles away, and Louth.
Grimsby has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Landlords with properties in Grimsby can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days. For Grimsby homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain.
Water across much of Lincolnshire is hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
Decisions to make first
Shower bath
A P-shaped or L-shaped bath is wider at the shower end, giving room to stand and space for a fixed screen instead of a curtain.
Bath panel
Acrylic panels are cheap and easy to clean; wood-effect panels match fitted furniture; a tiled panel on a frame looks built-in but needs an access hatch for the waste.
Rules that apply in England
In England, Part G limits the hot water to a new bath to 48 °C at the outlet, usually with a thermostatic mixing valve, but only in a new dwelling or one created by a change of use. It does not apply to a replacement bath in an existing home, though a thermostatic valve is still sensible where children or older people bathe. New wiring for a shower over the bath or new lights is notifiable under Part P.
